Bi-weekly post #5

[Jenna Lee]

For the ninth meeting, we went to Grand Mart to order our food using Korean and to eat Korean food. I shared a Jjajangmyu (black bean noodles) and yookgaejang (spicy beef soup) with a friend, and they all tasted delicious. When ordering, we spoke politely to the cashier, saying “짜장면 하나랑 육계장 하나 주세요.”, which meant one jjangmyun and one yookgaejang, please. For our tenth meeting, we had a very relaxed class of speaking only in Korean. We sat outside of the library due to the nice weather, and we talked about how our week was in Korean. During the conversation, I realized how much I mixed english into daily Korean conversations, and it was slightly difficult at times. But overall, I thought this was a good practice, especially for talking to my family in Korea.
